History[edit]
In 1987, Garcia attended the New Music Seminar at the Marriot Marquis hotel in Times Square where he met with Prelude Records owner Marvin Schlachter.[4] They had known each other for some time as Garcia had played many songs from Prelude Records when he was a DJ for 98.7 Kiss FM. Schlachter asked Garcia if he would be interested in producing songs for MarTru Records, a new record label he was starting. Garcia had wanted to start his own record company but didn't know how to run a label or have the capitol to invest. They decided to create a label together, with Garcia making the hits and Schlachter handling the business. They got an attorney to draw up the shareholders agreement and formed the record label Micmac Records, Inc.[5] Garcia and Micmac Records have been featured in Billboard magazine, Spin magazine, DJ Times, The Face magazine, and The Village Voice.
Micmac Records formed subsidiary labels for other genres of music; Martru Records, C&S Records, Adrenaline Records, Mascot Records, and Move Records.[6] Garcia formed 21st Century Records, Inc. in 1998.
